Scotty Schaeffler's out there. Colmore Cow is out there. Justin Thomas is out there. Jordan Speef is out there. We've been watching them for 15 minutes.

And Danny Rap leans into me and says, those shirts are red, right? Yeah, those are red. He's like, they look great to me. But by the context clues, I figured they were red. Well, the shorts looked blue and the hats were white. So I kind of figure they're red. It's got to be red. It's got to be red.

Foreplay, brought to you by Barstall Sports and presented now, as always, by Chevy. Chevrolet. Chevy, baby. America. Like a rock. Yeah.

You and I were talking about those little commercials. Those like a rock commercials. Those are like my childhood. Iconic. Yeah. Iconic. Can we put a like a rock soundbite right here? Like a rock.

I was strong as I could be. Like a rock. There you go. There it is. Strong as I could be stuck in your head all day, everybody. Like a rock. They would just cut to the Chevy coming around the corner or over like a boulder. Yep.

Oh, my God. Is that American or what? Shout out to Chevy. I'm going to get news, a little breaking news. I'm going to purchase a Chevy. Boom. For Piner's. Yeah, I need one for the Piner's house.

When I go there, I can't just be Uber and around all over the place. The Southern Village. So I need a vehicle. I'm going to acquire a Chevy. I don't know which one to get you. I was looking at them yesterday at the Barstville Classic in New York at Long Island, Cherry Valley, which is a great venue. And we were looking up their EVs because pretty much everything's EV now, as it should be. It's 2022.

We're in the future. It's going to be 2023 soon. Their equinox, phenomenal. Silver Auto. I could be a truck guy. That's like a rock right there. You throw the clubs in the trunk. I mean, in the truck, that's a good move.

That's a nice move. It's like, you know, for housework, from going up to, like, lows. or something and I'm going to throw much stuff in the bag that's a truck that's a silverado guy at the Boston stop at Walston had a Chevy Silverado we parked right up front I was like that thing is sick

Chevy Blazers solid Chevy 64 was that the thing The Blazers is one of the new really good is a hip-hop Chevy 6-4 Yeah they're E's that what it is so Impala so Impala Chevy yes oh TI's been rapping about the Apollo forever The old 1964 Chevy Impala's

are like the popular car to now put hydraulics on and put oh why am I not thinking about the name of those rims but they're um yeah they're the cool hip hop car sick here's a good fact that you don't have to be rich now to have an evi car that was a bit of a thought there for a while maybe a stereotype nowadays um the EVs from Chevy they're affordable uh EVs are for everyone everywhere with an established full line brand like Chevrolet we can offer multiple EV vehicles with the volume variety and the value customers all over the world have come to expect.

So go get yourself a Chevy. I'm going to do it. Yeah, I think I'm a Chevy Blazer guy. The Blazers. The Blazers nice. The Blazers nice. It's a really, really nice SUV comes in all different colors, gets 320 miles, electric vehicle.

The inside, the infotainment system is what I like to call it, is incredible. You came up with that? I don't know if I came up with it, but I definitely use it more than I know other people do. Infotainment system. Like, I'll be in the car, like, that's a sick infotainment system. It's information and entertainment combined. That's actually a really good term. Yeah.

Described what that function is perfectly. I knew it without it. I didn't need you. Yeah. Ask a follow. You know, if you go on these car websites, you'll see that word somewhere, but no one uses it in their everyday life. I use it a lot. Infotainment.

The other day when we were in a Chevy pickup truck, I said, look at this infotainment system. You did say that. You use this in normal. Oh, yeah. Conversation as much as I can. Yeah, infotainment. One of the few infotainment ambassadors out there. We got a big show today.

So we're live from Charlotte, North Carolina, President's Cup week. We are on site all day today. Dan's been here for two days. Dan has now reemerged in the golf scene, in the media center representing the evil empire of Barstall Sports, incorporated. Yep.

And we have a lot to break down. We saw pretty much everybody today out on the course, caddies players we saw the actual golf course for the first time ran into a bunch of fans which is great so i want to talk about that i know we got tidbits to get to but i first want to talk about dan in his element uh it was like a proud father must feel at some point or a proud brother or something because seeing you in your element today we had this uh it was almost like speed dating that they do for the yeah it's a weird setup which is a weird format but for the press conferences today i got put my iPad away it's going fucking crazy right now I got one of those. Me too. The presser today, there was like six different guys being interviewed. You kind of just jumped to whoever you wanted to and ask questions. You are front and center with your hands behind your back, asking questions and then just

listening as intently as a human being can listen and doing that for seemingly the entire thing. I want to start with a question. I want to get to, we'll go through the whole day. Sure. What was your general, you know, welcome and, and were there tensions like with the old school general media center now that you're part of us? I don't think we are as, or you guys are as villainous as you once were. Like, I think if I had made this move three years ago, it would have been like, wow. They would have felt a little bit, maybe offended.

Now it's losing all right? I don't know if it's losing the edge. I just think it's like, barstool and foreplay has become so big that it's just like, thought of in the same way as, you know, go into any other big, like, super successful company. I actually had a couple of the older school journalists come to me and, like, congratulate me and say, like, we totally understand you're young, you know, if we were in your position, like, we'd probably be looking to do the same thing. So that was really nice.

It must have felt good. It did feel good. You know, I thought about this decision, like, a very, very hard and long. You didn't make it on a whim? I didn't make it on a whim. I knew what the decision was going to be pretty quick, but I thought really long and hard about it. So nothing that they said was going to, we would have called you, you've been like in Shark Tank. We'd be like, all right, you got 30 seconds. I probably would have

said yes, honestly. That's good news, right? After saying how long I thought about it. Long and hard. But yeah, it was cool being back. It's like, that's my comfort zone. I mean, I've been doing that for five years. And so asking these questions and talking to these guys is like riding a bike. The difference was, and we talked about this briefly today, Riggs, is like what I wrote today, I wouldn't have written before just because it's hard to explain, but it was always such a conversation with the editors about who's writing what. That was another thing. I think Gulf Digest has like four or five people here this week.

So there's always a battle for who's going to get the best story. And there's a certain voice that you have to take when you're writing for one of these big publications. You can't say certain things. You know, you can't write stuff that is sort of outside the scope of the headline. And today and yesterday, I just had this feeling of like, I'm just going to write whatever the hell I want to write. Yeah. And it was an unbelievable feeling.

And I'm feeling happier to be a part of this podcast and this brand than ever before. Hell yeah. That's great to hear. And it really is that way. We just had those upfronts, Barstall Upfronts last week. And Danny was there. The whole, pretty much whole company was there. And Dave talked at the end.

And one of the things that he said, and he, the Hollywood reporter quoted him on this. And he tweeted about the next day, just being like, the secret sauce to Barstool is get talented people in the door and then let them do whatever you want over whatever they want like you don't have to run anything by an editor in terms of like what you want to say and what you want to write about and that really is as crazy as it sounds and as simple as it sounds that's how you get the best out of people and that's how you get them to write about interesting things about what they want to write about what they want to talk about what they want to tweet about that really is how it works and that's how barstool i think has been so successful yeah i mean that's what riggs talked to me about

when we were first discussing this job was, you know, we don't want to hire you to be the fourth one of us. We want to hire you to do what you do. And I feel like today was actually a really cool day because I did my thing. And you guys did your thing. Right. We and we're one big team, but we can do different things. Right. And you guys were out there and talking to guys and interacting with fans. And I was too. We've added a weapon. We just added a weapon. Right. Big time. Like, and you know, it's good that you. It's good that you don't feel pressure to be like, all right, I got to be out there with the three. It's just. And you know, it's good that you don't feel pressure to be like, all right, I got to be out there with the three. of them like handshaken with Zach Johnson and all that. The fact that you can do your own thing and it's like Riggs is saying, we're just attacking it from all different angles and I think that

is incredibly beneficial to the listeners and to everybody. And the players out here know the difference between you and us, which is hilarious too. That's the first thing Kisner said. They give us the time of day that we need. Like they know what our content is out there is just to really just say what up to the guys, see how they're feeling. The fans and everyone that all the listeners and viewers just like to watch us interact with them as as a if it's them because like that's just kind of the way that we've always done it. And you can tell the players just like they know that. Like they'll say hi to us.

I say, how you guys doing? And I'm like, where's Dan? Like in the media center writing like an incredible piece somewhere or something. It's just like they know already what the dynamic is, which is perfect. And like they'll say hi to us and then be like in the back. Like hi, hi, Dan. Like they already know you as like a good friend. So it's perfect.

It's actually a perfect company. Today was a really big day. Yeah. I was sort of a little apprehensive or nervous. I don't know. I just didn't know what it was going to be like. But it was totally normal. and it was totally seamless.

Do you season digest, folks? I did. Yeah, they're cool. Look, everyone understands. Like, I think if you, if you think about my decision and you think about what I left and what I'm joining, you know, if you don't understand that, then, then I'm not going to be able to explain it to you. Yeah, I wouldn't have expected it to be contentious. Just, it's weird. It's a little bit weird, but I didn't see the guys who I, I didn't see my bosses.

Yeah. Right. So you see your coworkers and it's like, what's up, dude? Yeah, yeah. If I saw my bosses, I think it would have been a little bit more. testy. But I've been texting one of them. I've been texting Max Adler a lot. It seems like pretty normal. It's pretty good. Do you think they're trying to replace you at both fingers? I don't know. I really don't. I know that they hired a guy Evan Priest who's a good Australian

journalist to do some of the PJ tour coverage. I don't know if that's like a direct replacement. I actually think it might have been in the works before. I don't know. I'm trying not really to think about it because it's really not my problem and it'll make me feel guilty if I do. You're fine. Yeah, but, you know, I like them over there. It's nothing against them. It's just, this is, I feel like a fucking rocket chip. Yeah, I agree with that.

And I would say we've always had a good relationship with Golf Digest. Fun fact, our first interview we ever did was with Ashley Mayo before she left Called Tadest. Really? Never aired. It was a test episode. We did a test episode to prove that we could send something to Dave that showed that we could speak to other human beings in an interview format. around golf in real life and have it be in real life

you think he listened to it no no but we did it no chance you think he just saw that there was one and he was like all right that's good enough it's hard to get inside his brain whatever he does works I don't think he accepted this for a couple years I don't think it was a couple years really I think it was probably like

maybe 10 months you guys are still at TPC sawgrass like it was a little a little over a year later because he was like why are you guys on a golf course right now shouldn't you be in the office on radio and shit. I think we had a podcast then. No?

Yeah, we did. But I'm saying it was a year after. Oh, you're talking about when he accepted. You're not saying when he said you can do a podcast. Oh, I was thinking when he said you guys can do a podcast. Oh, when he accepted it? I actually don't know. Last year.

I might have been a couple weeks ago. What do you mean accepted it? Just like Dave like lets you kind of do your thing when he like acknowledges that you are something that is worth doing your own thing. You know what I mean? And until then, you like better be working on whatever it is. he thought that you should be working on when he hired you you you know what i mean right like there's always like he has these so now he's cool with you like doing this yeah he's like oh no those guys just

have the creative freedom to do whatever they want because they've proven that they have like the barstool edge and the barstool like barstool like barstool runs to our mentality and like you know when we wake up we just think about what you know we are barso at this point like we're part of the barstle culture it's been so many years that like we just that's who we are and i think at some point he just accepts that and acknowledges it i mean he lets you just go hiring you He was especially proof of that. Like when Riggs, I mean, Dave tweeted out, Riggs texted Dave being like, hey, this is the guy we think about hiring. Do you want to talk to him?

And Dave said no. And that means he's giving us the freedom to hire somebody who we think will be good for. But I'll be good for that green light. It's fucking, it's not easy, man. Prove it. Oh my God. There's people in that office right now that like there's a million things they probably, but like they have to fucking prove it. They have to prove it.

The old school. Is it my phone? Somebody's alarm is going off. Somebody take a nap? I shut my alarm for five. 30. I took a nap and you know what I got from it? You know, like what I woke up feeling?

What? How amazing LASIC's going to be? Because I had to wake up and put my fucking plastic in my eyes to walk down here. You guys have a date or like a target date? It's going to be in October sometime. Oh, that's soon. Yeah, right? It's got to be.

Oh, yeah, we talked about it. Maybe November in between. Two weeks. We're doing a lot of stuff. Maybe in November. Glass's got for two weeks? No, I'll probably do. Well, yeah, but not on the golf course.

I was going to say the, uh, the, uh, the, the, the, old school bar stool was you cut your chops blogging you built your brand you built a relationship with the readership and the barstool fans stories blogging and your value there were very there were much more limited avenues to which you could actually prove yourself valuable there wasn't TikTok and YouTube wasn't as big for us just like can you blog it was pretty much like you blogged and then like you effort in like work put numbers behind your work like there was like blog outputs and time that you got to the office. Like there's a famous video of Riggs walking in at like 904 and Dave's sitting in front of

the elevator being like, what were you doing? And Riggs said, check the timestamps. I've been working since like eight o'clock in the morning. I had a blog written in the back and like it was fucking cutthroat man. I'm talking 904. I once was on a train. I don't know if I got to survive. I was on a train that just stopped, dude.

I was on a train that just stopped and I was in the tunnel. And I got text being like, where are you right now? And I said, I'm on a train. He goes, you can't live that far away. The train can't stop. That next month I was in the city. Really? I moved.

I moved up that I picked up and moved my home. Him and Erica posted up at a desk at the elevator because the old HQ was so small. There was just one small elevator that he got off and everybody sat right there. They posted up at a desk one day randomly and everybody got off the elevator after a certain time, which 9 o'clock or whatever was. They grilled them on why they were late. And luckily that day, I had literally been blogging. from my apartment. And I was like,

why don't you check your fucking times? You knew you were going to get the heat too. Because like everyone's texting you. Smitty texting you being like Dave's sitting right there. It was fucking cutthroat. But, you know, the moral of the story is that you just got to survive it and get through and show that you have what it takes.

And then he kind of lets you do your own thing. So that that is what the amazing part about this place is. So yeah, and I think that to Frankie's original point, it was like the, he green led the podcast, but he did say you can't interfere with your actual job. Right.

which was blog output. And then at the time, Frankie, it was Frankie being Dave's guy. And then it probably took years until he finally allowed us to like, take time out of the office to work on Foreplay. And even then it was probably mostly just like me for a while.

Yeah, it was a nightmare trying to get it. Oh my God. Right. There was a while when you stopped blogging and I just kept logging because I was like, this is it. Like I don't know.

If I stop logging, I think I'm dead. Because the blog output emails that we would get each week. Those things keep me up at night. Like, certain number, certain number of views. And I was just like, I'm going to keep my numbers up or Dave's going to kill me. And then at a certain point, I kind of just like let it go and nothing horrible happened because we were doing this podcast and we were doing videos and like eventually you're doing this podcast and we were doing videos and like eventually. They've got like concur and all these like websites.

I thought it was going to be like really, really cutthroat. I thought it was going to be like a total madhouse, but it's like, no, there's HR people and there's travel people. And it's like, that's relatively new. Yeah, well, it's great. But it's. Yeah, when I first started here, I didn't have health insurance for the first like three years. When I started, so my, my four year anniversary. Here we go.

My four year anniversary is October 1st. I didn't speak to Trent Ryan. Yeah. Until May of 2019. And I started October 18. He would come in, he would record the podcast. He would finish a blog, come and record the podcast like 7 p.m. Because Riggs has just gotten off radio.

and I had to eat dinner. We'd record from 7 to 9 and then Trem would go back and finish blogging. You're a workhorse. Well, no, it's, that's very nice, but it was just, that was the way it was. Like, blogging was the way. I mean, when I first started here and did you have a focus or it was anything?

Anything. Anything. Originally, it was all Iowa stuff and then you just kind of, you just, boobs and coffee. You just, boobs and coffee. You just kind of cover the internet. That's every day,

a picture of a female with breasts basically out, drinking coffee. Yeah, she was a, It was a naked woman. Naked woman drinking coffee. Nice. Is it every day? Every day at 9 a.m. You just scoured the internet for a photo that had those two things.

There's a whole Reddit page now. Maybe you started something. Maybe. I know that I knew where to find them. But yeah, it's, yeah. I mean, yeah, we're talking about the past a lot. But blogging was a big part of it. And now we're just, now we're just rolling.

I learned the word paramour in the Thrones episode. I did too. Let's not talk about it right now. Let's just talk about game time. Unfortunately, I made fun of you two nights ago, two shows ago about not watching it.

I haven't had a chance to watch it because we've been fucking traveling the whole world and no one gave me the travel information to get back to the room in time.

keep from Dave that a dude was going to propose to his girlfriend in the middle of a pizza view and I remember that being like the most important day of my life because I knew that that moment that I knew the way Dave's brain would work better so I was saying to myself this video will be will be better if he doesn't know that this guy's about to propose to this girl and I was like this was years ago so I was like young and like you know I'm definitely Dave's guy at this point but like I'm like on the tip of my toes everything I'm thinking about a million times and and this guy texts me messages me on he emails me three different things I just said there he emails me and he says I'm thinking about proposing to my girlfriend I would love to like make this happen in the pizza review and I'm thinking how the fuck am I going to do this can't tell Dave because he's going to be better if he just gets natural reaction right so the day of the pizza review I can't tell Dave and I also have to let this guy know where we're going to be on the street so everything has to be natural so now we have this place picked out and i have to get dave to agree to go to this random pizza place so i'm like hey there's this spot it's on the lower east

side and i think we should go there it's got a bunch of good reviews he goes fine good i said do you want to go around like 1230 and he looks at i planned this whole thing i knew that he had no meetings whatever he goes yeah i think that should be fine so now we're about to get ready for this place i text this guy hey man it's happening here we're going to be there at 1250 i'm going to call the pizza at 1235 dave's going to walk in at 1250s and wait two minutes he's going to come back got he's going to do the review at 1252 you're going to be on this fucking on the sidewalk so everything's fine right we're on we're on our way to the pizza place and dave goes uh actually i have to be like uptown right now after this do you want to just do another place uptown and i said uh yeah i guess

so and he goes yeah i definitely have to be like uptown so like let's just do something in like the 60th or 70s and now i'm talking the whole opposite side of the city and we said this as we're getting in the uber so now i got a texist guy and i found a place that was just a ran random place on a spot that Dave wanted to go to. And this guy was... How did he get it with his... So he was shopping in that area and all of a sudden he just like books it. He's like, hey, we should go to the store.

I have this... Like, I forgot to tell you, I want to take you to this place. I guess whatever he did to get this girl out of this lower east side areas. I just... It totally didn't even set on me that the girl can't know. The girl can't know. I'm like, oh my girl can't know. So now my heart is through...

When I'm telling you, it's bouncing in my fucking neck. We got four people involved in 50% of them can't know. But I'm thinking to myself, Frankie, like, this is such an important moment in your career because, like, it could be an all-time video. This is an all-time moment. And then if you just get this done, in the next 20 minutes, if this guy gets on a subway and he meets you at this place and Dave gets this pizza review and this guy gets this pizza review, it's going to be at all-time. Let's just do it. And fucking it's somehow, and we're doing this pizza. We're doing this pizza review.

And I'm looking at him. I'm looking at Dave. And I'm looking at the corner of my eyes just hoping that someone just comes into this frame. And would you know it? maybe maybe 30 seconds before Dave finishes this pizza review. You just see this guy stumble in the background with a girl and like that he just walks into Dave and bang. I'm like, it's go time.

It's a great video. So you drilled it. We fucking nailed it. Awesome. I can see Dave's face in that video. And Dave's like, what is happening? And he's like, Frankie, they're fucking getting engaged. It was crazy.

That's awesome. It was crazy. But it's like, it's little moments like that that like that's what Barstle has always been about is like just getting it done and only thinking about like how are you going to make something work for for the guy that has made something work for 20 years like Dave that's how is it going to be the best today so it's like I just think like that you're a kind of guy like that where it's like you kind of fit in that mode where it's like you're going to attack each day with like the most creative angle or the most you know interesting angle like that that blog today like

everyone's going crazy over because it's something that like we never would have written and so like it is such a perfect fit and I just think that we now have like guys that are completely going 24-7 and having like these creative juices flowing and just like going 24-7, 100 miles an hour. It's just a good place to be right now. Definitely. But I don't know why that popped in my head today. It's just, I enjoyed it.

It was a good story. Yeah. It's got to be interesting for you, Dan, because we are now, you know, almost a month into the gig, three weeks into the gig. I will say you came in an incredibly travel heavy time. Yeah.

So it's not like this all the time. Emma was like, after two weeks, Emma's my fiance. She was like, dude. It was like, Trust me, it's not going to be like this forever. It's not like this all time. But I will say it's not like this super rarely. Yeah.

No, it happened. I get it. I've been traveling for my old job. Right. So you get that. But what a year sort of takes about the job? Anything like surprising? Anything that's what you expect is?

Yeah, it's more different than I expected. Probably because we haven't had a week like this where I'm at a tournament covering an event. Right. This feels like what I was doing before more or less. Just with more people saying hi to me. while I'm walking around, which is cool. Like I asked a cop for director. I was like, where's the, you know,

bathroom or something? He's like, it's over there and congrats on the new kid. That's going to keep happening. I loved that. Yeah, Scotty Sheffler, number one player in the world who I hadn't, you know, don't really have a relationship with. He walked right up to me yesterday. I was like, congratulations. No way. Super, super nice. Yeah. That's really cool.

So, yeah, I mean, I don't know. In my head, like, I thought about kind of these weeks and just doing my thing for a different publication or different website. I didn't think so much about the travel series and the scrambles, but they're awesome. I'm having an incredible, really year. I mean, I got engaged last October. Congratulations. You know, she agreed to move back to California eventually, which is something that I've really wanted to do. And congratulations. Thank you. I appreciate it. And got a new, thank you. Appreciate it. And got a new job. And thanks, both. Congratulations. Yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm happy, guys. Things are good.

And you're joining something that is international and has, influence on people like we've never seen before. We were inside this little media room that you were running around and doing your thing. And these guys, these Colombian fellas. Yeah, from guys from Columbia, yeah.

Walk over to us. And because the reason I'm thinking about this is because you said that people are saying congratulations to you. And that's actually like a proud moment for us that people think that congratulations are in order for you to join our podcast. That's a good point. The number one golfer in the world, like, dude,

congrats. Like, what does that say about the brand that we fucking built? That's insane. Dude, you guys... How insane is that, dude? No, that's a good thing. Scott Schiffer is like, hey, man, hey, hey, incredible golf writer that I know that's in the golf bro.

Congratulations on joining this other thing. I left golf digest, which is like the OG golf publication to join ForPlay Podcasts. Scotty Sheffler is like, dude, congrats. That's awesome. That's fucking nuts. But anyway, you know, what blew my mind even more is that these guys from Columbia and they're called one putt, Columbia. and I would love OPC. Follow them.

That logo was. I would love for everyone on here to just somehow, just as you're listening to this podcast, go on Instagram and just give these guys a follow. One putt, Columbia. Basically, this guy comes up to us and he goes, I just want to say hi to you guys. I'm really nervous. This is like meeting Tiger Woods to me. He said that?

He did say that. He says that I'm in Columbia and I have loved Barstool and I love Barstool and I'm meeting you guys is like the biggest moment ever for me because I'm trying to show in Columbia how to how to play and enjoy the game the way that you guys have done and he's like now I'm here at the president's cup and he's if you look at their Instagram they're taking pictures of Camille Villegas and all these guys in there they're running around they're the international team like this is their biggest trip that they've ever had they have like 4,000 followers that they're walking around with mics and they were just so grateful of like the fact that they found

us doing what we're doing in America and they're like let's just take that mob and bring it to Columbia. It was like the coolest thing ever. They were so, so genuinely, they were so genuinely, like, thankful for us just speaking on a podcast and, like, giving them that kind of groundwork like to build on their own. Yeah.

So I want to give them a shout out. Yeah, I would think that, like, this whole process has been kind of opening for you guys. It's like a moment in time where you guys can kind of reflect on what you've built and sort of the influence that you guys have in the golf world because it's very real. Yeah. And I would say that it's very, these types of weeks, we go to a major and we go to a big term like this is when you really see it materialize in front of you because usually like you've been a part of the last couple weeks a lot of times it's head down podcast film a video head down

you're in a studio or you're on a zoom with the guys you don't really see it right you're kind of a part of it but you don't really like you you don't really remove yourself or have the opportunity to remove yourself and look at what it is from the outside and when we come to these and you see all the different people or somebody comes up and says that or people like scotty chef for and people in the media are congratulating you on this, that's when you actually kind of see the impact of it. And it's very eye-opening. We got a message from producer, Jake,

that Trent was breathing way too heavy into the microphone. I've been breathing into the mic, I guess. So however many minutes we're in, we apologize. Trent, do you want to say anything to the people? You know, it's hot in this hotel. It is, I'm hot right now. I'm burning up. For him to stop the podcast

and let us know that the breathing was a problem, it must have been a problem. Never happened before. Doesn't matter how far we've come, how much influence we have in the golf world. That was perfect. At some time, at some points, I'm just going to breathe into this mic because I'm hot and I'm out of shape. And that's just how it goes.

Are people going to hear that? I have the headburns up loud so I can hear it. And I'm also looking at you. It's hot, bro. It is hot in here. I'm burning up. Yeah. Turn that AC on.

If people might be able to hear, they'd rather hear the AC in the background that we'd be huffing and puffing into this thing. Wow. Look at this. It's from the merch team. We're making Chevy branded head covers. Yeah, we're going to have them on our clubs. It's really cool. These are sick.

I like the first option. That is cool. These are sick. Chevrolet's got just really good branding. I really like the way they write their font of Chevrolet is iconic. Look at that. That's changed over the years, but it stayed like the same. Now they have the EV lit up in blue.

You probably can't see it because you're colorblind. I can see that it's a different color. I'm colorblind. We were out on the range today watching the American team warm up. All the guys were out there. It was like, you know, it was a moment. Scotty Schaeffler's out there. Calamora Cow is out there.

Justin Thomas is out there. Jordan Speeth is out there. We've been watching them for 15 minutes. And Danny Rap leans into me and says, those shirts are red, right? I go, yeah, those are red. And he's like, they look great to me. But by the context clues, I figured they were red. Well, the shorts looked blue and the hats were white.

So I kind of figured they were red. It's got to be red in there. It's got to be red. What would you guys like to last longer? An awesome football game, a good TV show, a legendary concert. I'm going to go with sexual intercourse. Sex. Me too.

Roman wants you to last longer in bed. In fact, they don't want you to just last a little bit longer. They want you or have a little bit better experience. They want you to have a 340% better in bed performance. You hear that Sammy Adams song, I want to go all night longer. I've never heard that, but that sounds great. Roman swipes are the secret to longer lasting sex. Roman swipes are uniquely formulated to reduce overstimulation without eliminating sensation.

altogether, the more consistent you are with swipes, the longer and better your sex will be. Go to get Roman.com slash 4 to get 20% off your first order of swipes. 340% better. That's a lot of percentages. So many. A lot of humps. More humps.

It's a lot of thrust. What do you think your average number of humps is? I could go two pumps somehow. That's how long you've been on the road? It's the wolf of Wall Street scene. Get those numbers up. They get those numbers up. When he first bangs Margo Robby.

Oh, yeah. Roby? Robbie. Robbie? Robbie? Yeah. And he comes in like one second. Yeah.

Oh. He did not have Roman. He needed Roman. Great scene. It's Robbie. What a job, Leonardo Caprio has. My God.

Go to get Roman.com slash 4 to get 20% off your first daughter his wife. All right. Let's get into President's Cup. We're at Quail Hollow. Quail Hollow is, It should be very well known to people. It's obviously Wells Fargo. Every year we met the Wells Fargo folks today.

They're very nice. We might come back for the Wells Fargo. But PGA Championship 2017, Justin Thomas, when he closed it out on the back nine to win his first PGA championship. And then obviously now they're having the President's Cup this week. They redid the course right before the 2017 JT PGA. And then this week they've rerouted it, which they typically do, they did at Liberty National.

Because match play, a lot of the iconic holes, if a golf course is sort of like a play in it, like crescendos towards the end, those holes that are usually the finishing holes and the most iconic, a lot of times won't even get played in a match play environment because somebody wins three and two or four in three and you don't even see those holes.

So I believe the 15th hole is now the iconic 18th. That's correct. With the whole creek up the left side. That's where Max Homa got his first ever win. on the PGA tour. That's where Rory Macquarie got his first win in the PGA tour on that green. That will now be the 15th hole, that cool par four or part three before it, or JT stuffed one with that left pin. That's usually 17 is now going to be 14. And then the first, second, and third holes will be 16, 17, 18. Is that right? I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

What's the reasoning they do this? Because of the match play versus stroke play. Right. Because the green mile is usually. 16, 17, 18. And that's these three epic iconic holes. And yeah, they just might not get there. And they've built this incredible real, like, it almost looks like waste management. Yeah. I've been out there. Like, the build out this week

is massive. And yeah, I think they just want everyone to get there, every match to get there. I wonder what the, you know, the attendance is going to be like, has there been any talks about, like, how many tickets have been sold and stuff? Because these are ridiculous grandstands behind these T-boxes. Yeah, I think they're going to be, I think it's going to be really big. I mean, the Wells Fargo, I've been a couple times,

always really, really well attended. Charlotte's a golf city. North Carolina is just kind of like a golf state. Charlotte's a ton of people. Charlotte's great. Charlotte's legit. It's a party. Charlotte is legit. Yeah, Charlotte's very, very legit. I think it's growing really fast in the last five years. And Quill Hollow for the Wells Fargo is always bumping.

So I imagine it's going to be even more this week. I believe next year we are adding for the first time ever a Charlotte stop on the Barstool Classic. Boom. Because it's very nice. The Queen City Class. Classic, which was tomorrow, sold out so quickly. We have over 300 people on the wait list. And we just looked at all the info. What?

Yeah. Are you fucking serious? 144 golfers sold out about three minutes, I think. And then we had over 300 people on the wait list within a half hour. And we were like, well, fuck, we might have to bring the classic to that place. Did you guys see that as a guy on Twitter who's been texting, who's been tweeting us 58 straight days, bring the classic to Huntsville, Alabama? Yeah. I like that guy.

58 days in a row. I think I'm going to muted him. I don't know. 58 days in a row. I had a guy tweeted at me 365 days in a row to play golf with him and I did. You did? Yeah. What was he like?

He was awesome. He was normal. I played with him. I was out there too. Chandler. I didn't know you guys actually played him out of Colonial. We put it out on Twitter and Instagram. Colonial in Dallas?

No, no, our colonial. And Farmingdale. Yeah. The Colonial. The Colonial. No, he was fucking awesome. He was totally normal dude. Right.

You never know what you're going to get. with that, right? I don't think I would play with that guy. You know, we could be chopped up I beat his ass. You did beat him. It was a great match. He's a really nice guy. Really nice guy. So, 58 days we'll have to let that get a little higher before. You know who else we've got to get way higher? You know who else

we have to play with and I don't want him to think that we forgot about it? Oh, um, Tony Ballsack. Tony Ballsack. Anthony Testy, I think his name was. He won some, he won a Black Friday contest last year. I basically said, if you spent over $100 and you tweet out a receipt at me, I will

play golf with you and we'll go to Borrelli's and Trent will come along. We put it in a random generator because a bunch of people did it and then Anthony Testy's name came up and there's like 10,000 names or some ridiculous. Anthony Testy. Tony Ballsack. That's hilarious. And I've yet to meet him or really talk to him. Shout out to him. He hasn't like annoyed us or been like, I mean at some point you got to speak up. I mean, he's got to be like, dude, I won this thing. I want to play golf. I'm bummed that I miss Borelli's. Yeah. I think I mean, I miss Borellies too. We, we were at the Long Island Classic and then it just went on forever at the end. There There was a million putting people.

There was a million puts. It was a late start too. Yeah, usually we started around like 9 o'clock, sometimes 8 o'clock, and this one was at 1130. Something, I don't know. But it was okay. And it was, the classic was perfect. And then I guess the restaurant aspect went okay. I mean, everyone piled in.

I felt so bad for my dad. He had the whole place set up incredibly. Probably the best I've ever seen Borelli set up in my entire life. I'm not even over exaggerating that. He had the outdoor patio going. He had live music, two guys playing a, acoustic guitar and he had the outdoor bar going for the first time that I've ever seen it operational all these lights were everywhere and then he took one of the panels off the outdoor patio

and then put the the bar the pizza truck that we now have we have a brand new pizza truck that he's been working on since before COVID and then during COVID he couldn't get it operational and then now he's able to like try and get get it to parties and then when you looked at the outdoor patio all you saw was this fucking oven just standing right there like it was everything looked amazing as ever so where he's waiting for three years. hours for people to get there because they told him it was going to be three o'clock. No one told him it was going to be a late start. Dumping rain.

So he's got this place ready to go. The music got there at four. No one, not one golfer shows up until six o'clock. And at six o'clock, downpour rain and hurricane winds. Winds are whipping the fucking umbrellas out of the fucking holders and flying them across. People are catching them. They're like, oh, do you need help Mr. Brewery picking up utensils? He's like freaking out.

Like I think something was like flooding like near the bar over there. He's just like, what's happening right now? It's like, this never happened to me in 67 years of business. I don't like when bad things happen to your father. And he was stressed out. And I'm saying, and I'm like, what the fuck's going on to? He's like, I don't know.

I actually texted. And then I had to go to the airport and I text him like, Dad, everything's going to be fine. People are going to love it. I texted M.B. I'm like, M.B., can you please just make sure that my dad's like, okay, and he knows that everything's going to be fine.

Everyone's going to love Borrelli's and it is what it is. She texted me a picture of him with 15 guys taking a photo inside. She's like, you are absolutely not needed and he's perfectly fine right now. I kind of want my first Borrelli's experience to be like a nice romantic date with just Emma and myself. I feel like we'll go there as a team definitely many times, but I want to be incognito and just go for like a nice meal. In the fall, we'll have the music going outside. Beautiful weather. That's what I'll do.

Lobster ravioli. Lobster ravioli. There you go. Fantastic. Boom. If you want to book a pizza truck, call me. You definitely tell me about the pizza truck. I got to get that thing going.

It's an unbelievable pizza truck. And my cousin who's doing all these artisan pizzas, he does the thin crust, regular cheese. he does the Detroit style, which I think is like the best pizza we've ever come up with. His version of the Detroit style is insane. Trent, you've had it before. You've had it at the pop-up shop. Delicious. Yeah. But yeah.

Oh, yeah, the one in New York. Yeah. I mean, how long is it going to take me to drive with no traffic from Brooklyn? Like 40 minutes? Yeah, at the most. I mean, so it took us 20 minutes to get the JFK. It's a nice date night. Yeah.

It's going to happen. Really good day night. All right. Let's get into this event. We've got the United States versus the internationals. I believe the grand total is 12, 1 and 1. Is that what's? 11, 1 and 1.

11-1-1. The one tie came when Tiger and Ernie Ells went toe to toe. Sick. And a playoff. And I think it was Jack Nicholas and Gary Player, were the two captains at the time. And Tiger and Ernie, there's a great clip. I think Scratch just put it up like a reel on Instagram that I watched. That was Jack at a separate opening ceremony, I think, or maybe the closing ceremony that year.

I think it was a separate opening ceremony, giving the. retelling of that year's tie and then they obviously put in edited in all the clips of it happening in real time and it was incredible but i think it was like their third playoff hole you know both teams pick their best player obviously tiger versus ernie else at the time and they go tie tie and they go to the third playoff hole that was a really long part three um and they both hit shots like kind of on the green barely and they have like a hundred foot putts tiger putted it like 20 feet past and he has like a downhill left to right slider. Ernie hit his to like eight feet below the hole. Tiger buries in the dark gigantic fist pump and then Ernie steps up, pours his

in the heart and everybody goes nuts and then Jack and Gary Player got together and we're like at this point it's dark. I think the best thing let's call it a tie and they all agreed. It's a great golf moment. Really who do you think if there was a tie and the U.S. team had to nominate one player to play that tiger role. I mean, Scottie's number one in the world, but it feels like it would be JT. It feels like JT, but I will say that kids texted me earlier today,

even, it was like, I'm going out and practice around again with Scottie Shephardt today, and that guy is like, God, at golf right now. So, you know, if he's playing, if he clearly shows throughout the week for him that he's been showing, I think it's really hard.

I think the stat that we saw Trent, they threw on TV was JT's career team, so Presidency and Rider Cup record is like 14, 4 and 1 or something like that. It was like. It's insane. Yeah, it was really, really good. I remember he went out first and beat Rory in France. That was a statement.

He does feel like the emotional leader of the team without Tiger here. I agree with that. Yeah, like he's got the fire. And Scotty's still new. He's just quiet to the scene. I don't know if he'll ever be that like alpha dog, which is fine. I mean, it's fine.

It's the person that he is. but but you have your date he's a little more in your face i think so the 2019 president's cup him and tiger it felt like those are the two guys totally who are going to carry this thing i um yeah even so hannah cook was out there with us today and she's never been to a president's company like that and she even said she was like j t has an air of like kind of like leave me aloneish totally um which i think is right and he carries himself like an athlete and i think that translates to what you're saying which is like your guy that you probably put in that spot can i make it not playing well. Can I make a sort of confession? I wish the live guys were here. I really do. And I totally

understand it from the PJ Tours perspective. This is their event. You broke the rules. We told you you weren't going to be able to play. I get it. I get it. I get it. I wish they were here. I'm looking at this list of what the team could have looked like. Cameron Smith, Hedekhi Matsuyama, Sung J. Nguyen, Joaquin, Tom Kim, Abe Anser, Corey Conner, Adam, Scott, Louis Ustazen, Mito Pereira, Lahiri, and Mark Leishman. It's just a much, much, much, much better team. I think we all agree with you. I, like, regardless of how you feel about any of the stuff, clearly it'd be a better event if those guys were here. And I, and I don't think, I think it would be better for golf if these team events. And again, I know that the PGA Tour pays for and owns and

operates the President's Cup. There is no President's Cup without the PGA Tour. And that's basically what Trevor Emelon said today. Someone asked him, like, you know, have you guys thought about making the president's cup separate, kind of like how the Rider Cup is separate. And he was like, yeah, you know, we talked about it, but then we looked under the hood at the like X's and O's and logistics and it just wasn't feasible. So I get it. I'm not saying this is like a realistic thing. But I think it'd be better for golf if it was just like who are the best 12 golfers who are not from America and not from Europe, period. Yeah. You know, and I feel the same way for the Ryder Cup next year. Like, this is the first event. And I wrote about this yesterday.

This is the first event where it really feels like the live guys are missed. Yeah. Because the FedEx Cup playoffs, you know, they're just not that marquee of an event. And also when you have so many players and so much star power, it's just their absence is not as noticeable. We had Rory Scottie down the stretch. It was great. Yeah. But like this week, like not having Cameron Smith and Neiman and answer here, like just

it stinks. Yeah. I overheard in that interview room, Billy Horsal was answering. And the way that he answers these questions is so just refreshing. He just tells you really how it is. And he's so thoughtful and the way he just speaks through his answers is great. I love Billy Horschel now. Not that didn't, but I used to think it was a lunatic.

He's a lunatic. He's a lunatic, but he love him. He loved lunatics. Yeah, he was like, I wish that I was playing against those guys. I miss playing against my peers and the best players in the world. Essentially is what he said. Like, why would you not want to play against the best? He understands why the PGA tour made that decision.

If he was in their position, he'd probably make the same one. But, like, yeah, I mean, as a competitor, you don't want to be playing against and it sucks to say it's like the B team kind of right I mean it's not their version of half the team wouldn't have made the team so yeah I mean so it is basically the B squad and that sucks that sucks that sucks for the guys in America sucks for Trevor Emelman who's been waiting I feel really bad for Trevor Emelman he's probably love that man like the nicest guy on the planet and he would he's got this team even though he has a depleted roster he's got them ready to go right he's saying all the right things he's like because people I'm sure are asking him about it and he's saying these are the

12 that I have. These are the 12 that want to be here. And these are the 12 that I want to fight with. And that's the right answer. Not to get all rigsy red coat on it, but like I would like, uh, I'd like them to show a little fire. I'm not going to be rooting for them to win, but I want to see the international team like show a little, like after day once. Like, holy shit. Are these guys doing something right now? If this is a blowout, this event could be in, in, on life support. And that sucks because

the last president was awesome. And it wasn't, it wasn't just that it was like, we got lucky and it was awesome. Like Trevor. Emelman and Ernie Ells and that crew did such a good job to rejuvenate the entire event from the international side. And they talked a lot about it with the rebranding coming up with the logo. They rock like the black and a little bit of gold. And they got everybody together multiple times throughout 2019 leading up to Royal Melbourne because everybody comes for different cultures and different languages and they wanted to have parties and get-togethers and dinners so that when they showed up a week before the week of the event.

It wasn't just like, oh, yeah, you're playing with this guy who speaks a different language, like, good luck. It was like, oh, no, you're, this guy's on your team. He's been on your team for a year or two. He's one of your boys. And they put so much effort into that. And that carried over to they, they should have won. They literally should have won in 2019.

They had a two point. They held the lead the whole time. They were so close to going up eight to two after the second session of the entire thing. If I weren't for like JT and Tiger and a couple of heroics down the stretch, on Friday, they literally would have been up 8 to 2 and it's basically over. You only have to get to like 15 points. And they, so they were that close to beating a team

that that team should never have a chance. They do all that hard work, the rebranding, building it out. The event was the crowd. And even like the Patrick Reed situation in Kessler-Krain added to the event. I mean, a fucking, the most unlike USA players caddy punched a guy in the crowd in Australia.

Like, what are we talking about? And then remember, Patrick Reed did like the shovel thing too was right after the world hero. Yep. Sandcastles. And Tiger was the plane captain and he was playing unbelievable. He was. Carving that course apart.

He was total control of his trash. It was a masterpiece. He was hitting little like spinners off the hills to tight pins and like just painting his masterpiece around that place. And it was the best event they could have possibly hoped for even with their fake fans that Frankie and Trent unearthed. I think we're going to see them this week? No.

No, I don't think they need them. out here in Australia they needed them here no I think Peter Tour makes decisions that are sometimes not the right ones I think I think the fans are going to be back well well very diplomatic I appreciate that yeah that would have been a different way you would have said that a couple years yeah but fucking stupid now that they're in this position I feel so bad for Trevor and we're not trying to put pity party not trying to say the whole thing's over because I'm still excited to tune in totally seeing these guys wear the same outfit and they come out as buddies and there and even if they do blow them the fuck out you're going to get to see how max homa does in a team of may you're going to get to see how kiz does who i've been obviously touting for years and years like you're going to get to see some of the newer guys come in who are they going to get paired with you have more kawa now who doesn't have dj so it's like who's he going to get paired with you're going to be able to see a lot of that as sort of a like all right we got the rata cup coming up next year on the road in

rome haven't won one on the road a long time what's our team looking like it's going to be really fun to tune into but i couldn't agree with you more on that this is the first time where it's like, man, it's a bummer about the live thing because this week could be off the charts. And if you get into a moment where it's like the internationals, you know, could have a stretch down the wind, down, could a moment down the stretch to actually win against the U.S.

for the first time ever on foreign soil, like, that would be, that'd be awesome. It's just like, you know, like, I'm just, I'm really upset that we're not going to get to see Cam Smith against Justin Thomas and singles. just like Cam Smith is like the number two arguably the best player in the world right now. You could make a really strong argument. And he's not here. And it's shitty. And I was looking back at that 2019 team and Smith, Neiman, and answer have all made like significant strides since then.

So it'd be like an even better team. Right. The fact that the PJ tour didn't allow live players to play in this basically proves us that they're never going to allow a coexistence, right? Or else they would have just done it here. Yeah. It's not happening. Now they're going to maybe lose their biggest event. like international event.

Yeah, I don't know. They asked Billy today about, you know, would you want to play in a live versus PJ tour event? And his answer was kind of what you were talking about earlier. Like, as a competitor, yeah, I would love that. But like, it's never going to happen. Right. You got to think of it from a PJ tour's perspective.

It doesn't benefit them at all. But, you know, do you think there's, do you think there's any world in which if you were the PJ tour, you could have a week ago said, nah, how we're going to let him play? I don't think there were like rules against it. I don't know. I think it would have brought them a lot of goodwill.

Because this isn't a live event, right? This is very much a PGA tour event. They could have said, look, in the spirit of this event, in the spirit of international competition, in the spirit of growing the game, we're going to let these guys play. Yeah. And people would have loved it. Right. And is the only reason not, is it just like ego pride? Like, can you just not go back?

Is it part of the legal case? Like, would they have had a legal issue if they would have done that? I'm sure it's a lot more thorny and complicated than we think it is. I'm sure. I'm sure. They would have been, you know what? We're going to let it play. It would have been a gesture of goodwill.

Like, and I don't think it would have, it's not like they would say, okay, you can play in every PJ tour event now. It wouldn't have been like, oh, you're back on the PGA tour. It was in the spirit of the president's cup and in the spirit of growing the game, we're going to make a one-time exception. I'm sure there's a lot of reasons why. And I'm sure one of the PJ tour officials will come up to me tomorrow or Wednesday and be like, here's why that was the dumbest thing ever that you just said. but from a fan perspective, I think it would have been, it would have been a much better product. It would be so hypocrite.

You just can't. Yeah. They have to say no. Yeah. It would just open up way too many doors for guys to be able to complain and say you're hypocritical and say, if we could do this, why can we do this? And other guys are going to be like, oh, I can go play and live. I can play in the President's Cup.

Like the next time they'd have to do that as well. I mean, now you're just, then you're justifying the President's Cup in two years. Right. I mean, I'm going to say, I mean, I've lived in two years. I think what they got no leverage. I think it initially was because I remember in the first memo that they sent out when the guys were going to play in the first live event in London. They were like, you're not going to be able to play in the PGA tour events or in the President's Cup. So I think that they were trying to use it as like a deterrent, right?

Right. Like, this is a really big event and you're not going to be able to play. It might have worked for some people. It might have worked for some people. Yeah. There's a chance that we see a couple guys go in the weeks after this. And they basically were holding off for this. I don't think it's going to happen. How tight are they with spots on live right now?

Tight. Like if you wanted to go even, you have to be a pretty big name. You got to be a pretty, I know there was a couple, we talked about this, I think a couple top 50 guys who sort of directed their agents to be like, sniff around, get me an offer. And they were like, sorry, we're closed for business. But if, you know, if Hedekke called them a Monday and said, I want to come, they would move, they would move mountains to have him. Yeah.

just won on the on the live on the live on the tv what was your take on the on the bryson versus the rope uh yeah i mean like i just can't really stay out of his own way can he so i couldn't see it was uh Can't even see right now. Yeah, it is. It is kind of telling like when people get hit in the face or something like happens to them, how they react in those first one, like first minute. 100%.

I feel like it says a lot about a person. Yeah. And he was, he was rude. Especially when it's their fault. Like if you get punched in the face, you can react however you want. Yeah.

But when you walk into a rope that is there. Yeah. That's on you. And then when you start blaming people immediately, it is telling. Like I saw Dave's tweet. He was like, he was never getting under that rope. They lifted the rope.

They did. They helped. They like lifted it up. He was walking with a perfectly high posture towards a rope. They lifted it up as high as they could. And he just didn't bend down fast enough. And it wasn't just they. The last person seen holding the rope is his caddy. Right. So him being like, what the fuck guys? That'd be like if I just walked into that doorframe right now and I was like, what the fuck architect? Like Jesus. And I'm right. Well, no. I mean, the doorframe, it's just there. You walk into it. That's on you. You can be mad at the doorframe or the guy. Probably the most views of live. moment has ever gotten. We didn't even mention Cam Smith. That thing went dumb viral. It did. We didn't mention Cam Smith and we talked for 30 minutes about Bryson walking out of that rope. Yeah, but it just shows you. I mean,

it's a side shot right now as far as competition. It felt good to gather around the campfire and talk about Bryson D. Chambo again, though. Yeah. We don't get many of those moments anymore. The logo. Funny tweets, man. Those are some funny tweets yesterday.

Should we change the logo to Bryson getting hit by like a rope? Just put a rope across it. Yeah. got to change that logo um we saw zach johnson today we did you really good doubt yeah man it was like symmetrical you guys met in the middle we did it's it's it's mesmerizing i had uh jake bass uh put a gift together and it's mesmerizing we just boom yeah i like that he's now in our world for a long time he was in our world everyone's in your world dude i don't know i no but i mean the way what i mean is i always talked about zach johns on the show i always defended him master's champion open

championship winner at the old course Cedar Rapids guy so I was always fighting for him and then we got him on the show these guys back down a little bit and uh... And now so we got down a little bit but that's pretty like standard standard practice super standard for us and I would just heard Billy Horst

we love Billy Horst right I used to literally sign off my blogs who just fuck Billy Horst yeah it wasn't Is that right? Oh yeah I've just for fun I mean I've backed down in many situations with guests on this podcast so it wasn't anything new But now when we see him in these tournaments and he's on comms at the President's Cup. He's in full Zach Johnson.

He's handover, stings. He loves himself a good earpiece. Everyone on comms and the guys who are on commas are right next to him. Yeah, Web Simpson's like, yeah, I'm right here. And I don't like Billy Horstall. I love Billy Horst. Yeah. He makes me laugh.

He's absolutely. He's energetic to watch. We like characters. Yes, you have to watch him now. Like everything he does is entertaining. His press conferences like you said, Frankie. he's just blonde he doesn't give a fuck I love Billy Orshall

Adapt up Zach Johnson And the first thing he wanted to talk about Was Iowa football That's a dream for me That's an absolute dream And no matter what I accomplish At Barstool Sports in my life The thing that my parents are gonna be

The most proud about Is that I get to talk to Zach Johnson When I see him at these events? Is he a hero in Cedar Rapids? Absolutely there's a street named after him He is Jack Johnson Street Yeah Zach Johnson Drive I believe He is as big

Do you live on it? No it's so much So he, he, my address, Zach Johnson. One, two, three, Zach Johnson Drive. So he grew up playing at this place called Elmcrest Country Club. And the drive up to Elmcrest is Zach Johnson Drive now. So yeah, he is, he is huge there. My dad and my uncle cried when he won the Masters.

Like, it's a big fucking deal. And he also said, I'm just a guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa in his press conference, which I feel like just went right to the heartstrings. I mean, I'll start crying right now. Dude, he like kind of double hand blessed you at the end of that gift. He did. Great to see you guys out here and then just kind of blessed you. Yeah, I didn't get my hands on him.

He did that I was cowarding. He shook Trent's hand. They put his other hand on top of Trent's hand. That was crazy. He didn't need to do that. No, he didn't. And it's a cool thing that we got going on that. When we see Zach Johnson to these events, he's like, those are those guys.

I'm going to go over and say hello. Webb Simpson. Web Simpson's super nice guy. You know, we can talk about him behind his back like we always do on this podcast like we do with all these athletes. And I mean, I call him vanilla pudding. I call him very, very, you know, bland. I say that he's boring. meeting him today for the first time

I mean what a fucking nice guy nice and boring are not mutual exclusive right true yeah he knows he's boring to watch playoff I was actually looking at this and I was looking at this and I think that the US like just captain squad is like one of the more vanilla you got Davis Love the third Zach Johnson

no disrespect yeah he's nice but he's a little vanilla okay you got Webb Simpson and there's one more who I can't remember and Steve Stricker it's like none of those are cursed in the last Fortnite Where's Webb Simpson from? He's here. He lives on the golf course.

Oh, does he? He lives off the seventh. I actually don't know if it's a seventh hole. I think it's a seventh hole. But there's a par five. It's on the front nine. And there's incredible homes on the right side. I noticed the homes on the drive up.

It's crazy out here. There's big mega mansions. Also, he owns a home five minutes from Pioneers in Country Club of North Carolina, which is where Frankie and I both played 12-year-old Pete. Yeah, it's interesting. We're 12-year-old Pete and his dad. Mike who are incredibly nice people that's where they live and

Webb Simpson has a house there he's just so nice he had I bond over that area to Wake Forest he's he's North Carolina through The reason I ask is because there were a bunch of Midwest guys in there and I was wondering where he takes his kids out to like the cradle all the time He's like he's won with his whole area He had a ain't no hobby hat on that he bought

Sick I know I know I have a selfie of him that he sent the kids of him wearing and ain't no hobby hat that he just bought online It won't be long before Web Simpson is on this podcast he'll be on the show I think we could have got them today. I just forgot to ask. That's all right. They're busy this week.

It's tough. We were talking to a few guys. We don't get up the right time. Yeah, we were talking to a potential guess. We were talking to a bunch of guys and they were like, yeah, dude, like, I got to go on the team bust. And there's the gala tonight. I think a lot of these guys, when they're playing normal events, when they leave the golf course, they're kind of done. Yeah.

That's not the case this week. I mean, today we're going to get kids. And then, so Riggs texted kids and he said, you want to do the podcast. He's like, yeah, I'm around. And then we said, all right, we're. coming to you and doing this podcast and then he said oops like the the team bus is leaving in 10 minutes so he had no other option had it been a regular week he sticks around no problem does 25 30 minutes yeah hopefully from Chevy yeah gets in a Chevy car and rolls out but now it's like you can't miss

the team bus we were talking about that too like imagine missing that's one of the funest parts of their week can't that's what they love about this week yeah like this is those pictures those pros like hang the team pictures in their houses like these are the weeks that they look back on because it's one week a year and it's always a different cast of characters. Yeah. And so you look back on it in 30 years and you're like, fuck, I forgot that Billy was on that team or whatever it is. So they're not going to miss it.

They don't want to sit here with us goons. No. Yeah. Billy was taking advantage of like having the team aspect. We saw him on that part three over the water and he was just really, really trying to talk shop with all the guys being like, you know, I think you can get it up on this, this bridge here and you can go high. You don't have to go into it.

Like he was saying this is Guy Sheffler at one point. And it was funny watching Skye Schaeffler one point. funny watching scotty kind of be like oh yeah all right and at one point and billy was like i can't get this ball to stop by this pin on this right side i've gone low i've gone high and then scotty kind kind of just threw his tailor made high toe at it and just stopped right next to the fucking hole it's just it's just a different skill does seem like they're kind of looking up to scotty right now like yeah yeah yesterday he was playing it i think it was billy kevin kisner scottie and sam burns and they were on one of the drive i think it's normally 15 it's 11 this week it's

drivable par four with water left and billy goes first and and just pipes one right to the front of the green. He's like, oh, you want to play these last couple holes for $500. And Scotty is like, oh, we could play for whatever you want, but you have to re-tee. You can't just hit a perfect shot and tell me that we're playing for $500. That was a super respectable move. Yeah.

And then Billy piped it again. Wow. It's professional golfer. That is, man. Wow. I like that. If you had a perfect one and someone tells you to re-tee, it's in the woods for all of us. Not even close.

Not even close. golf course is getting a lot of praise right now all the guys are raving about it greens are fast they are really really fast we did watch guys on the right side which where you were just telling about scotty and billy down there what hole is that on the right side of the old 17th which is now the 14th

hitting chips from this little like chipping area swale on the right side and it was hard for them to stop the ball near the hole that pins the back right it's going to be nasty nasty been nasty the rough's a little longer than i thought it was going to be Trevor imleman masters champion said that this place reminds him of augusta national he said that to our faith so there's this is one of the clubs that has the most

overlap with augusta as far as members wow a lot of members of quail hollo who are members of august that's a lot of like charlotte banker really businessman yeah yeah and then i think i was i was hearing from some folks too because there's always the question of like why are they bringing the president's cup to uh quail hollow when there's just a p j torven here every year year and there was a major year five years ago like why there's so many courses in the united states of america that they could just go why don't they showcase one of these other cool ones which is a fair point it's actually the one that i hold even though i do think quail hall is amazing it's one that i hold it's like show me a new course um but i believe there's a lot

of their uh partners sponsors business partners etc also that are the CEOs or the bigwigs and a lot of the companies that they do business with on tour that are on their board on or whatever are also members out here and like on the board at Quail Hollow so I think there's a lot of politicking there is going on shout to House of Dragon to make sure that that you know the president's cup comes here Charlotte's big business we're like what we're talking about earlier

Charlotte's a big city man airport like there's power brokers here amazing food options at the airport here okay get the airport I wasn't a fan of the airport were you well you guys get fucked hard no royally fucked raw do you think you'll ever be on a board of what

I don't know you can be on the board of Barstool Is there a board of Barstool? Maybe a milking board That's a board of pen Yeah That's something I don't think I'll ever be on that

I don't think so either We're not looking good for that No I just like People always say like Yeah I'm on the board of this It's like That's pretty cool

You could be on the board I think we can have I think we'll end up having a board For Barstall golf at some point I think we'll get I think it's going to get to that level Where we like all talk about Big Picture ideas

Who do you think would be our first person we'd try to recruit? Kevin Kissner. On the board? Kiz. Kiz would be a great board member. Keep it on the board. Kiz is probably on 15 boards. Barsstool golf board.

Kevin Kisner's got to be on one. And then I also think you get Slugger White. Just to keep us in line. Is Slugger? Yeah, dude, they paid him a bag. He's a live guy. To come out of. He came out of.

He came out of retirement to go to live. And I saw him at the first two events. He's a little. ripping in hair dye. That hair is like as red as ever. We all agree that's like Rudy Giuliani. Regardless of your stance on live, that's like the funniest most incredible thing you've ever heard. They took slugger white.

The rules guy from the PGA tour came out of retirement to get the bag from the Saudi Arabian government. He had this like big, what are we talking about? He had this big goodbye where like all the players gave him a goodbye. Like a year later he was back at live. Wow. That's a huge get. Huge. Bigger than the 48th player.

Yeah. By far. Way bigger. And getting Far. him in like Farity? That's like golf culture, man. Dude, that's nuts. The offer still stands. It still takes

longer. Yeah. Yeah. Giz is definitely up there. Oh, yeah. Saweth. I would like him on the board. He's just a smart motherfucker. He plays so much chess. I would like him. And I think he'd bring like a new age. I mean, the guy plays, he grew up playing video games. He's like my kind

of guy. I like him. A lot. I want to play him in a match. too make that happen we'll make that happen you're barking out orders you sound like you're on the board texas we're gonna go to and play him right yeah we'll do that he's houston Houston I just I mean after I heard how many games he actually does play

of chess I think he's become one of my favorite people on tour yeah it's cool and guys have like a thing four hours a day of chess is that what it was you said like four to six four to six hours a day of chess that needs like a girlfriend so many hours of it's crazy after after golf rounds

too. It's like if I came back from a PJ tour event and how a tournament golf is just the most tiring thing of all time mentally, the last thing I would want to do is play chess. He's got youth. He's a, he's youthful. Yeah, he is true. Um, so we got, what's Thursday? What's Thursday? Thursday, I believe, is alternate shot. They lead with alternate shot. Let's check it out. Tell me, I'm going to, I'm going to wake up Thursday. I'm going to get some team golf and I'm going to see a little alternate shot. It's tough for the players to just get right into that. You have no momentum. No flow.

You know what I mean? It's like a slow week because there's only one session for the first two days. I wonder why they do that. It's a little, it's a little bushyly money. They want it to be a four-day event. That's what, Riggs and I, we were talking about that. Is that what it is? The gate.

It's got to be. It's a little bushyly. What else would it be? Five, no, I was totally wrong. Thursday, and that was 2019. Oh, but they do five matches. They do five. Yeah, there's 30.

There's 30 points. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. Foursums. Okay, we're right. Okay. Final answer. Alt shot.

Alternate shot on Thursday. It doesn't start till 1 p.m. What? He's got this all on his iPad, by the way. What? Yeah, he's zooming on his iPad. You got like a robot iPad. Yeah.

So it starts at 1 p.m. on Thursday? It starts at 1 p.m. on Thursday. Dad is getting some sleep on Wednesday night. Friday starts at 11.30. Saturday starts at 7 a.m. because it's 36 holes. All right. I'll see you guys later at that one. And then Sunday starts at 12.

Okay. I'm telling you it's a chill last week. Yeah, it is. Like as far. as golf. Once we're done with this bullshit we're doing right now, this podcast. Watch some golf.

Are you fucking kidding? Yeah. I'm gonna have a couple of drinks. I know. I know. I do want to enjoy this one. I think that this one's a little, it's going to be more laid back.

Like when we were in Australia, we were really stressed out. We flew across the country. We flew across the world to try and get content. Well, and we were just like, fuck man, we're in Australia.

We got to get shit. We were really stressed. I remember I was like barely sleeping thinking about like, why the fuck were we out here? This is insane. Everything changes, though. if a man named Eldrick touches down at any point. And he did. Oh, I'm talking about this time around.

Yeah, when Eldrick is on property, we got to get our hands on him. Yeah, he's the golden snitch. It feels like, it feels like it's not going to happen. Danny, I don't know if you heard anything today about it, but. Actually, I'm kind of kicking myself for not asking the guys if he was coming. I'd still, to this point, be blown away if he didn't show him. He's got to be here tomorrow. If he's not here tomorrow, he won't show up.

He loves this shit. Yeah, he loves this shit. And he just rides around in a cart. And he's, he's mobile enough. He played in three majors. He's two gods a major. He's definitely okay. Yeah.

I saw a notification today too. That what? A notification. Oh, we call him notifications. What happened? Whenever Notabagay gives an update on Tiger, we call him notifications. It's funny. Because they're always.

No. He said, I think this is a notherification. I believe Tiger's got one, at least one more win in him. I know he's got. got another run in him. So the guy's got another run to win on the PGA tour and he's not going to show up and drive around and a fucking car. And he was, I mean, they had that secret meeting about a month ago now.

PJ two were like a show of power would be Tiger Woods showing up at this event. It's crazy. He's not this event. He's, he wants to, he, he's going to support the PGA tour. Yeah, this is the ultimate support of the PGA tour. Make this event and the people that are here make this a memorable one by just letting people get their eyes on you. You know what's going to have.

He's going to show up right when we're at Queen City Classic. Don't say that. Give me how fucking teleport out of there so fast. We'll leave so fast. I will leave the Queen City Classic tomorrow even though we love it. We're going to, I mean, it's, we're content. Sorry. Well, now the energy.

I won't leave that. No, he's, Danny's, that's the right instinct. That's a content guy. If Tiger Woods, if Tiger Woods is there. I'm going to poke around tomorrow morning. Okay. Another one you've got to learn is Ricky Shea shot. Anytime somebody slips in like, uh, wow, that guy's got five wins.

That's one more than Ricky Fowler. That's a Ricky Schae. Shott. Happens a lot. What was the one we giving him a rickie shay shot, you think, in any of your pieces? Definitely. This guy has a one sense. Rorty Sabatini has more wins than Ricky Fowler.

Oh, that's a rickie shot. Oh, you had done when Ricky, like when Ricky goes to, at one point, Ricky went to Tiger's house and like, and talked about the experience, you called it Ricky Leaks. Oh, that's it. Oh, yeah, when he went, where they watched the Masters together. Yes, that's what it was. That's right. That one took us a while.

I think we botched that one for a while. And then I finally came. That was a good one. Shopify, the all-in-one commerce platform to start to run and to grow your business.

That's shocking. People got to stop eating sleepy chicken. Have you seen this? No. They're dipping chicken thighs in NyQuil. It's a new TikTok trend. That sounds electric. It's a new TikTok trend.

People think it's going to let them go to sleep after they did their dinner. And it's just incredibly, incredibly dangerous. Why is it dangerous? Because NightQuil's bad. Yeah, like the FDA, whatever, FIC, whoever's coming out with this shit. Just eat turkey. What did you call it? Night chicken? Sleepy chicken. Sleepy chicken? They got to stop doing this. You're basically

just dipping it in fucking like hardcore medicine. And you just can't be eating that stuff. So I just want a PSA to everyone saying that I'm on the stance of stop eating sleepy chicken. This is the new Tidepod? Yeah, were you anti-tidepot as well? I was. I mean, come on, dude. I agree that they did look very, very

tasty. Tasty? I love. I love a nice gummy. You know what I mean? I love the sensation of it. The sensation of squeezing something in between your teeth is incredible. Blue gummy sharks, come on. Let's be honest. Sleepy chicken is a great name.

It's a great name. We're doing sleepy chickens. If you get NyQuil, I'll fucking definitely. Oh, no, no, you can't. We can't. We can't be doing it. It's dangerous. And then I want to say this, that I'm ready to mark my favorite candy in the world.

And I'm going to stand hard behind it. I know where this is going. If you are ready to, I'm ready to do this. You certainly can. Is there chocolate? No. So I actually put chocolate in its own category. I do think it is a form of candy.

But if I'm talking strictly candy, I want to be seeing colors. I want to be seeing comies. I want to be seeing sugar. You know what I mean? Sugar to me is candy. Like straight sugar. What were those like skittles that were covered with like a crazy amount of sugar, sour scissure.

Sour skittles. That's what I got really good. No. Not it. Nope. The best candy in the world are nerds gummy clusters. I'm not kidding. Number one.

Did you have them today? Yep. Where were they? I bought them last night. Oh, nice. I actually don't know if I've ever had one. Bro, I'll go up to my room right now and grab some for you guys. Although it is really far, so I probably won't be doing that.

But after the podcast, I'll give you some. I think they have perfected every aspect of the candy. I think the crunch is all time because it's a little bit of nerds. Crunch is key. And then you dip, you dip your fucking teeth into this thing. And there's that goo on the inside. the rope. It's the nerds rope. So a nerds gummy cluster is basically nerds rope in in circle form. And you just pop them in like popcorn. But it's that sensation of going from the hard crunch to the gooey inside. And you've got that

fucking sugar going down your throat when you fuck it. It's like refreshing. You know who I have to call right now? I get his take on it. Who? Trotty. Oh my God. I don't know that he's ever had a fucking nerds gummy cluster though. I was thinking you got to call Clem. I was thinking you got called Clem. It's 1130 over there. Oh no, he lives in California. He does. assumed he lived in England Rigsay boy what a legend this guy's going to be on this call right now

they're so good actually they have my stamp of approval where is he in California so it's three hours behind right there's 3 30 30s and work fucks this guy doing making pizza he might be yeah I don't know what he could be doing right now is out just hitting absolute seeds at the

Taylor made kingdom right now Tristan hi he missed his last thing's Trot Chris drop. I've also got something to say if you want to move on from candy or we can keep talking about it. Yeah, no, it's fine. Go ahead. We were talking about alternate shot.

I think we got to start working that into our content. Yeah. That would be really fun. Because it's crazy. Like, you're basically just apologizing the whole day. Right. Or you're hyping your boy up. Right.

It's one extreme of the other. I wanted to do father's son alternate shot. That was my idea for this upcoming Father's Day and we didn't get a chance to do it. But I thought that was. You guys have got to play. golf with my dad. I trip. Really? Really? Yeah. He is the most intense. If you think I'm intense, he is the most intense motherfucker in the history of the world.

Oh my God. I'm scared. He's like an eight handicap who hits at like 210 or 2.15. He's got like a nice short game. But like every single, he's the guy on every single hole. He's like, all right, we're two up on the first bet or one down on the second one. John Strokes and Rigstrokes. Every single hole. And every time he misses, he like, if he, you know, he's a catty a lot because he plays it. club or every time he misses a putty looks directly at the caddy and I'm like dad stop stop blaming the caddy and you just like kind of can't help himself you guys are going to find him absolutely hilarious we got to get that done now like we got to do that I want to do that so bad the alternate shot is so good I mean it's yeah alternate shots of electric even if we just did it with us yeah we're

gonna do it we got to do it in um in the travel series big Cedar we should just do it yeah that's a good idea just do it I get the people want to play the course like who it's for the content And I think it'll be really fun. Well, aren't we playing one of the courses twice? I think we're supposed to be playing at Paines twice. If we play one twice. But that's sort of scheduled as like a rain situation. We had a shitty day.

Okay. We could play that, you know, something like that. But yeah, we should just do it. Alternate shots fun. I actually had the Barstle Classic championship this year will be decided by alternate shot. Really? Yeah. So the format is, you know, all the Barstow Classic stops as far have been qualifiers.

They feed you into the championship. It'll be two rounds of the same format we've been doing. So two person best ball net at 50% handicap. And then we're going to do a two-hole shootout with, I believe, the top six, maybe four, maybe eight teams. I haven't decided yet. But we're going to do the final two-hole shootout, 10 and 18 on Greyhawks Raptor courses, so everybody can follow along. And it'll be aggregate scoring for the whole time. So if you have a two-shot lead after those 36 holes,

You begin the shootout with the two shots. I like that. Got it. And alternate shot is pure, though. There's no strokes. It's just pure. And so you got to play alternate shot with your partner in Desert Golf where you can lose balls easily. And you have to play the 10th hole and the 18th hole at Greyhawks Raptor course alternate shot with everybody coming along.

It's going to be amazing. Love it. Yeah. I just know it would be great for our stuff. Yeah, let's do it in the Ozarks. Okay. I'm a fan. Down.

She got to pick the right course to do it at because we're going to want to play our ball at every single. one of them. Yeah. Such a good place to play golf. It is. I think those fairways are super wide, which is nice to hear. At one, at pains they are. At the other ones, they're not.

Okay. One for two. Pains, they're super, yeah. Pains, they're super open. I actually would not want to do alternate shot there because I don't think it'll be as exciting. Just like fairway. Yeah, everybody will just hit it out pretty much in play every time.

Yeah. Whereas the other ones, you might have to be super strategic. Yeah, I like it. I like if my driver's like one of those rounds where I can't hit on property, it's like, Rakes just hit a six iron and play. Right. But then also it's going to be like, I don't want to have to tell you to hit a six iron. Yeah, right.

You're going to be like whispering to the last three. Like, please. Come on. I just want to be able to hit a shot and not having a drop a golf. Yes, exactly. I actually have a new driver swing. I don't know how much I want to talk about it. You're going to break poor John's heart, dude.

We talked about it today. And again, I don't know how much I want to talk about it because it's in the video with the Colorado Avalanche. I switch something up with my driver swing and it's really working. So I just don't know how much I was supportive of it. he said what I said where in the video with the avalanche you guys everyone was like oh JT is going to be mad at you because this is just a completely different thing but I said he is going to say whatever gets this video series finished faster so I introduced myself to John on Monday before you guys were here and he goes tell Trent and Frankie that they're only allowed to make one more video before he comes sees me because he's going to ruin my reputation I know he's like he comes to sees me for one time and then they make like 12 videos I know it's not How it works. I got to go down and see him. I would love to.

Maybe in October I'll go down and see him. Nice guy. Younger than I thought he was going to be. Yeah. Yeah. He's like a young guy. Looks like Zach Alfenakis. He said he does.

He said his, he's his guy's oldest boy is like quite a player. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whenever we go down there, we usually play with them as well and they're, they're both good.

Yeah. They're both good. We're going to do it from the gallery question. From the gallery is brought to you by Truly. This is coming to you from Connor, who, Truly flavor is Wildberry. Do you have a favorite truly flavor?

finished this year for four years straight big thanks to Truly we love you favorite flavor wildberry. He says and this came at 1239 a.m. on Sunday so he did acknowledge this is drunk thoughts and he said this is kind of a Frankie style question why does water taste like nothing

isn't it amazing how the single thing that we need most to live is the one thing that has no taste? What are the odds of that being the case something's up makes no sense what I mean the reason it doesn't taste like anything is because it's the standard it doesn't there's no taste because that

that is the liquid like that is the base of why is the liquid not that not going to have a taste because taste by definition is a departure from the norm there has to be a base he's right the fuck was that he's right there has to be a baseline is a departure from the norm Wow. That makes sense. And also. That does make sense.

It has to, everybody has to, quote, like it. Exactly. That's a good point. Us as a society has just said that this is what taste is. Correct. And it's different than the more water. And also imagine if it tastes,

imagine if water tastes like apple juice and there's somebody who doesn't like apple juice, they're dead. Yeah. There are some people I feel like who don't drink water, but they drink like apple juice and stuff. You don't hear the same people who would say, you know. That's not why water tastes the way it does. But it's, it might be inevitable. illusionary thing.

Like everyone, everyone came to tolerate it because you needed to survive. Right. You never run into someone who says, I don't like water. Right.

No, there's a, I have something for you. Richie Rowensky, he's a PJ tour player. Yeah, I know that name. He's got a caddy called Pepsi.

They call him Pepsi because he hates water and he only drinks to I Pepsi. You used to be Keegan's, that's got to be the last thing. He's the one that got to know with Neil, Anhell Kamina in the match,

but that's, I think that's correct. That is right. Look at you, Riggs. Nice job. That was good. Hannah Cook had a great one today. We were talking about how I said, and I've talked about this on the show,

that I'm trying to do a new thing where I don't look at my phone for the first hour that I'm awake and where I get sunlight outside for like 20 minutes. And then she made a comment. She's like, I just can't wake up without my phone. She's like, I can't like wake up throughout the day without my phone. So that I said, so if your phone. just like ran out of battery today night. Would you just be in a coma?

Hibernation. She was like, yep. She did not. I witnessed this conversation. She did not say no. Yeah, she's like, yeah, I'd be an eye guy. I would just not wake up. Oh, man.

I have to be on my phone to wake up. So, uh, fuck. You know, yeah. And I was actually thinking about this on the flight last night about water. It's funny that he brings this up because I was drinking, uh, the flight attendant was coming down the hall, the, down the, um, the aisle, the walkway. hallway on the walk down meway um and they were collecting all the bottles and all the trash that we had on our seats and i had just a little bit left of the water that was on the plane and a

little bit left of the water that bought um prior in the airport two different waters and i just kind of like put one in and then did two shots of them and i was thinking to myself like it is amazing that no matter what source of water you get they just it all is the same thing right yeah and then it got me thinking is it like the human body needs water to survive and like at a very base level base raw level like is the water that we're drinking like exactly what the human body was made to drink right is that water that I got from shake shack like the legit water that my body was built to need probably is there a difference between that water that like my body was built to need and the water that I drank from shake shack definitely I would say a difference but it depends the degree okay a real difference

Do you think it's a better difference? You think as evolution and like how we've improved water has gone on that like that's actually the healthiest water? Well, I think it's from Shake Shack at this point. I think it's because we ruined the water to begin with. So like I think the water that our bodies initially were conditioned on is like river water that was perfectly pure.

But people also died like when they were age 25 back then. Like have we like affected the way of like. I think the water is better now. It has to be. It's filtered and clean. Right. Well, they used to drink. They used to drink beer instead of water because it was.

cleaner. Right. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, water probably had like soot and dead animals in it and shit that, you know, like that, you're totally right. Animal waste. Yeah, human waste, right? Right. Like battles would be had and there'd be fucking blood. I just wonder that when I put those two shots of water in my mouth and I was just fucking guzzling them, was there a difference between those two sips? I'd say largely no. At a molecular level there has to be. Yeah, I think so. When you guys eat, like, like if you actually look inside the water, there's got to be some sort of difference. When I went to Costa Rica to do the Morgan Hoffman story, he was telling me that he worked by the. Thank you. He was telling me that he would constantly like harangue the PGA tour officials for

only serving, uh, desani water because he was convinced that it was like Coke runoff and that it was like really, really terrible. Really? Yeah. There is a difference between cocaine runoff? No, Coke like the, because it's owned by Coke. Gotcha. Yeah. It's like, what a difference out. Yeah. It's owned by Coca-Cola and they said yeah he's like it's coke runoff it's terrible there is a difference between spring water which is like poland spring or arrowhead in the west coast and then the ones that are made by the soda companies that's called purified water so it's different they are different yeah tastes same to me man i'm pulling spring guy i hope they're good for me yeah well you got to have i'm biolate guy but at the end of the day pulling spring when you're talking just water from me

gets it done remember that what was the u.s open last year where they had fucking basically beer cans full water. Yeah, they were cutting your fingers. That was a zero. That was the U.S. Open at Torrey. They're a close personal friend of the USGA, but that was a miss. They had like the aluminum ones. Yeah. I think they had a miss here too in Brooklyn, no? They did.

Mm, fucking awful. Makes it makes it look like you're walking around with a beer in your head. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Brutal. Um, yeah. I don't like that one bit. I don't know why water does know. When you guys eat like Thanksgiving dinner and you got a full plate of like five different items, you know? Do you eat in a circle or do you finish everything at like the same time?

Not circle, but do you finish one thing, finish one. I eat the thing that I want the least first to get it out of the way. You get it out of the way. And then you start to eat everything else. I actually thought about this yesterday because I had a bowl like a terriaki chicken situation. And there was broccoli in it. And like, I didn't really want the broccoli. So I just, before I knew, I just got the broccoli out of the way.

Right. And then I enjoy the hungry. I need my last bite to be something I really like for sure. But I also like to preserve everything on the plate. so that each bite throughout the entire meal is kind of similar. So like if I'm eating Thanksgiving dinner, I want to have a little bit of turkey on the fork. I want to have like a little slice of the cranberry sauce.

I want to have some stuffing all on the fork. And I want to do that the entire time. You know what I mean? I don't want to lose out on one of those things towards the end because I feel like I'm losing out on things that I was eating. It's a lot of pressure on your buffet line. It does. I've done this my whole life.

I've very good at like when I eat habachi. Hibachi's really, there's a lot of pressure because they give it to you as they make it. So a lot of people just like, I fuck it up at your birthday. A lot of people just eat it as they get it and they shove it down their fucking throats. That's me.

And everyone did that. By the way, everyone at your birthday did that except one guy and we all booed and hissed at him. Yeah, he did. He waited. He waited. Dude, they make the rice.

What he's saying, like they make the rice, then they make the shrimp, then they make the scallops. And they give it to you. And like not all the same time it comes out in that order. It's hot. And it's hot and it's good.

And everybody's eating it. And then at the end, no one has anything on their plate except the last thing that the guy made, except one guy. And I don't remember who it was, but one guy at the table had saved all of it. Fuck that guy. And we, and we booed that guy. He had food when we didn't. Right. Because he's not the rice with the scallop and all that stuff.

I like to do that, though. I think that day I didn't have the, I know, we were taking sake down our throats out of a water gun. But you get up any hana? Do you get up any hush? We have been here. But I go to Shiro of Japan. I'm an elitist. I mean, Shiro of Japan is my favorite restaurant on the planet

I side from Borelli's restaurant It's a place in Carl Place Long Island I have to give a shout out to it because it's just What's it called? It's called Shiro of Japan. It's just a top tier top titty Hibachi place. Got it. It's just you walk in, you know you're at a different spot.

Same deal as about as a Benihana, just better food. Do they do like the onion volcano? They don't mess around as much with that stuff. I think in recent years they've like, I think they had to try and like keep up with all that stuff because when people would go. They're like, where's the fucking volcano? Yeah, yeah.

So I think they've like bent the knee with that. But when I was going in the golden years of Shiro, no. If you ask for a fucking volcano, they'd show you the door. But I think now like after COVID shit. You still haven't seen it. I haven't had. I don't think we've had more than 30 seconds like a saffron. We didn't do it.

I haven't had a second to breathe. I haven't a second to watch it. I don't have an iPad to watch it on the plane. I'm jealous. I'm jealous. We lost an hour and a half because Jake didn't send us the right fucking rental car information. But I'm not going to talk about it. No, no, I know.

I watch him to play, but yes. I'm jealous. It's really good. I'm going to watch it really, really good. In 20 minutes whenever we're done talking here. What are we going to do for dinner tonight? Oh, Paco's Tacos Tacos. Is that something that's happening?

Can you watch it after dinner? Sure. I love to do Paco's tacos. It's right here across the street, right? Yeah, I think it's walkable. Cold nose said it was great too. Yeah. Nice to see him today.

Yeah. Penguin? Yeah. You never met him before? Nope. You never met Cold No. People calling the penguin. Does that mean?

I think Josh Easter came up with that. I will not be. I will not be calling him the penguins at all time name. I mean, he just looks like the penguin. I said it when I saw him. I think I go, oh, Penglin. Oh, you like how he waddled around. It's just so funny.

I love his energy. Now a lot of people are going to know that. His energy is fantastic. I love his energy because he's cocky. He's a know-it-all, but he also knows it all. And he should be cocky. He played on the PG tour. He fucking won the USM.

The guy's got a lot of thing going for him. Totally. I love cold. He was cracking me up today. It's weird meeting these people that you've like sort of interacted with on social media. I feel like he said some like kind of like sassy not mean but sort of biting things he's a shit talker. Yeah.

What do you say? What do you say? I tweeted something that was like the U.S. amateur should go to stroke play because I thought like match play is a little too wonky for such a tournament that's so important. Whatever. That's a big tweet that would get across Coltonosa. It was just some it was just some take and someone responded to it being like, hey, Colt Nose, you should have this guy on subpar.

Sorry, I know what that is. I just brain fart. You should have one subpar to discuss it. And he just responds, I don't think that's going to happen. And I don't know if it was because I was still working at Golf Digest and it was like a golf digest, golf.com thing or if it was just like a, I noticed that.

But then you meet these people in person and they're like totally nice, normal people. Yeah. So we can mend that relationship. He's the nicest guy ever. Yeah. I love Colt. No, I don't think there's any bad blood or anything.

Maybe there is. Maybe he's too. Definitely don't call him the pack one of you soon. I will not call him the pain and nobody say that to him. Mr. Nost. Yep. Yeah, Mr. Cole Nost.

Yeah, I'm excited to go get Pocos tacos. The other one, we got to go eventually to Angry Ale. Jake Bass went there. That's the bar. Everybody's been telling us to go to you. It's got to be tomorrow because my missus comes in on Thursday.

Oh. Well, it's a bar. It's a bar. Oh, she'll come then. Yeah, I don't think it's a, it's like a kind of a happening bar. Oh, okay. It might even be a Thursday or Friday night scene. Perfect.

Perfect. But yeah, we got some things to see in Charlotte. And then, then there's an Italian join around here that's somebody highly recommended to us too. I think it was Webb Simpson as well. It was Webb Simpson. He said Paco's Tacos Tacos and, boy, I cannot remember the name of the Italian place. I might text Webb Simpson to be like, what was an Italian joint you told us to go to?

It's a super normal text message to send. It is. And then, hey, come on a podcast. And then also, like, I'm going to call you right now and you're on the podcast. We'll get them on eventually. Who helps you get a mortgage for your home? Cross-country mortgage. Who's really good at customer service and following up becoming your friend that's really

And they're telling me, listen, we got you. We're going to send you this information. We got everything right here. And you know what the best part is? And I haven't been talking about this on recent reads because I'm so far into the process. I'm literally just paying them now is that when we were going through the process of getting approved. Getting approved was the most stressful thing of all time because you get an offer into a house. then like the person that accepts your offer is like all right like why am i going to choose you over the

Yeah, I saw you were getting all hyped up about him. What do you say to you?

Anything interesting? He's just 20 years old. He speaks perfect English, like perfect fluent English. I noticed that. We were in the room. I heard him. And he was talking about how he was rooting against Yai Yang when he was like eight years, seven years old because he loved Tiger and he already wanted to be the first Asian to win a major championship.

Unreal. Wow. So he was like rooting against Y. As his countryman. Wow. Phenomeral. And so I asked him, I was like, dude, your life has changed a lot in the last four once he's like yes it has you're not wrong but like this has been the plan and like it's

happening a little faster but like this is wow this is the plan holy shit could be like a week this is the way this could be like you know ab kind of ab answer kind of blew up in uh australia could see that happening with tom kim and what and did you what we didn't give like a recap of your blog today right that was an amazing story yeah so this guy christian bezadenhote that's what's pronounced bazet and hoot how much do you grind over how to say stuff properly i like to pride myself in asking them how to pronounce their name and then pronouncing their name correctly. I feel like it doesn't require that much effort and they appreciate it. Yeah. You gave us all a lesson with Saheth. Yeah. Which I think is right. You've drilled it. You know, you have it best of everybody. Yeah.

I mean, so I, I, I sort of, uh, I'm a little blocky with it, but I get through it properly. Yeah, you do. Saw it. So it is a, it is a respect. Yeah. It's totally respecting. And it's like, it, I, it blows my mind how these broadcasters who do this week in and week out call him Sahith. It's like, Dude, ask him one time. Anyways, Christian... It's the total opposite of Dave Portnoy. Yeah. He fucks up everybody's name all the time.

Caribus. He doesn't know his employees. Ex-employees. Ex-employees. So, yeah, anyways. Christian Bazade and Hote. Wild story. Bazadenhote.

Guy is a South African guy. You might never have heard of him. He hasn't done all that much on the PJ tour. He's won a couple times in Europe. Number 67 in the world. The guy has a stutter, like a pretty significant stutter. The reason why is because when he was... was two years old back in South Africa. His parents took him with them to like some office because

they had a meeting and he doesn't remember this, but there was a bottle of dark liquid in the corner and the parents were distracted and he somehow drank the liquid and it was a rat poison. And so his parents discovered him a couple minutes later, unconscious and foaming from the mouth and like convulsing, obviously having like a really, really significant episode. He was rushed to the ICU. They had a pump all of his stomach. He was in the ICU for 12 days. Two years old. Two years old. And his body was like totally fine, but it really affected his central nervous system and his speech. And so he has this stutter. And then because when you have a stutter and because kids are just the meanest, just the meanest people. They just like relentlessly bullied him. So he had to go, you know,

he was in a lot of therapy and he started taking medication for it. It was never a problem. He started getting really, really good at golf. In 2014, at the British, amateur, he got busted, tested positive for, because one of his anxiety medications was, like, banned substance. So he's banned for competitive golf for two years. Wow. Even though he said that he had no idea and he got ahead of it. They reduced it to nine months. And now he's playing in the President's Cup. And it's really, really cool. And the coolest part about it is that, you know, if you're in that position, it's so easy to be to not want to talk. And he wants to talk. He wants to tell his story and he takes pride in communicating despite the stutter.

So definitely rooting for Christian this week. That's an amazing story. How do you not rude for that? Jesus. And that's Dan did that. Yeah. Got that story out there. Amplified it.

So how did you get that story today? I mean, I know it's probably been told and a lot of our readers and listeners haven't heard it. Well, that's what's nice is I can tell, I know a lot of your research. Right. I'm so far.

Like, how did you get that out of him today? You're just like having a conversation? Yeah. You flirt a little bit, right? So it was in the first T. I was like, oh, Christian, have you been here? I'm Dan.

We're at Barcelona. He's like, oh, I think he followed me. And I was like, oh, how's the course? How you're liking it, blah, blah. I was like, do you mind if I, you know, just ask you a question or two about, I know it's the same? You know, you talked about this a million times, but I don't think our audience knows. And I think people would find it really compelling. He was like, yeah, no problem.

Wow. Awesome. Easy is that. Look at you, Dan. Yep. That's a pro. That's a pro's pro's pro with your fucking setup and your laptop on a goddamn contraption today. that's value right there i mean that's just a story absolutely out there i was looking for the ice cream

machine the whole day yeah but that's okay that's cool that's what i like yeah yeah no it works yeah it all works it where is that i just kept saying i said three times in max homa's ear home of golf because we didn't get to use it at the open we wanted to sell a shirt called homa golf he missed the cut i mean he just didn't play i mean he did he miss the cut i think he didn't miss the cut i think he missed the cut. So it's just it was a waste of one of the best taglines and nicknames of all time. Oh my golf is great. He did walk up 18 at the time at the home of golf. It would have been great to sell a shirt at that moment. Maybe we'd have sold like 10 just in that as he's walking. Home of 30 seconds. Why didn't we make it? Well, he just sucked that week. Oh. Yeah, he's got to do something.

It's got to be situational. He's winning, but he's just not winning when we can sell shirts. That's a perfect newspaper headline. A pun is not enough to sell a shirt. No. I have some sort of But I said it and I just kept saying it today and every time I walked by he just left, he's just like bursted out laughing. He's just the nicest guy. His catty Joe Griner tried to tell me that Max is the most famous Jewish athlete in the world. So I spent all night researching Jewish athletes. And we kind of agreed that Alex Breggman is probably more famous. Who's the most famous Jewish athlete about Sandy Coffens? You guys have Hollywood. Don't don't even start. You guys have Hollywood in the bag. And like the financial system. Financial system in the bag. I don't know that you've got sports in the bag. Sandy Kofax is probably number one. Owning sports teams for sure, but not participating in the sport.

No. I think Alex Bregman was the answer. It's infamy. A lot of it's infamy because he's on the Astros. Right. But infamy is still fame. And then I said that yesterday, I said Julian Edelman and Joe's caddy goes, he pause, Joe Max's catty pauses for a second and he goes, dude, Max is like so famous now.

Like don't underestimate how famous is. Kevin Eucalus? I don't know. At a certain point, he was very famous. Yeah, that was not. Max is super famous right now. I think Max might be number one, man. You think Max is more famous than Alex Breggman?

Golf is like that. It's interesting because you're so a personal brand. Breggman's pretty big. Multiple World Series. Max Freed is a really good pitcher. People don't really know. I don't know if Max is bigger than Breggman, but he will be, I think. Yeah, because it's a singular guy.

He is his own team and now he's winning. He's the Astros. Right. I don't know. It's pretty damn close if we're being honest. And he's like massive on Twitter, which a lot of people know him as. like the Twitter golf guy.

And the PMT guys have blown him up. Yep, he's on PMT. He's on with everybody. He's pretty, he's actually boys with every, like he's kind of a media followers. Does he have more followers than Alex Breggman? He's like friends with everybody. He's not in a, but not in a turn on turn it off guy. He's just on all the time.

He's friends with everybody. Yeah. Man, I, you know, we live in a bubble, so I don't know, but Max someone was pretty famous. Alex Breggman has 311,000 on Twitter. But does he tweet like Max's tweets? No. Max, Max, Max has 4753,000. Max, okay, but that's just.

We're talking about... That's part of the equation. All right, we'll look on Instagram here. That's big. Wow. That's a lot. 692,000 followers for Bregman on Instagram. Max finally has a couple hundred thousand.

Max Homa has 276,000. So he's 400,000 behind. So I'm going to say it's close, but I think Max will be ahead of them. And Danes write out a lot of the infamy. He was a part of something that people look back on and are like, yeah, but that's fame.

I'm not even a huge baseball guy and I hate the asteros. I know. I think they won the division again. end last night. They did. Fifth time in six years. That's made the playoffs. I really think that Astros thing has softened though.

I don't know. It did because like the, I mean, I'm a Yankees fan and like we were so hard on them. And then like there's all these things that the Yankees did stuff and like, I don't know. Now we have Garik Cole who was on that team that we hated. It is true though also.

Now a Yankee and we're like, you're like, and now he's like can't throw a fastball without like touching his hair and there's probably fucking jump like spider attack. Yeah. That was the thing that we hated him for. And now he's a Yankee. We're like,

get the spider tack back. The Astros, quote unquote, got lucky. It's a weird way to use lucky. But the season after was COVID, there were no fans. Yeah, people were going to boo the shit out of my next year. I know. Did was, was, um, Altuvia, was he wearing a wire? He says no, but that, and he's like, don't fucking.

It's one of the all time is that true. He's running home and they're trying to rip off his shirt. He's like, don't take it off because he's got a buzzer on. I mean, that's, if that's true, that's a smoking gun. That's the craziest thing that's happened in sports history. Absolutely. It's having a buzzer on your chest to let you know that a fastball's coming and he was hitting moonshots. And your teammates are trying to rip it off.

I hate the Astros. He's running the bases going, don't pull this off. Wasn't they also like hitting trash cans? Yes, that was the beginning of it. When the Yankees got fucked against them, there's no denying it. I just think that a lot of shady shit was happening in the MLB for a long time. And it's just like, yeah, I mean, the Astros were the tip of the iceberg. Or they were just the best out of it.

There's always like these reports like, oh, like these teams have fucking cameras in the outfield. And like they have monitors in the dugout. And there was all these things. I mean, this guy, John Boy on Twitter. Yeah. He's like always tweets. He'll always put out these recaps about like you heard a whistle in the background. And like every time this guy whistled, the guy would throw a curveball.

So it's like he knew when you're throwing a curveball. That happened this year. Right. Because then you'll like stealing signs, people say that's part of baseball. Like if you're, if there's a guy standing on second. Right. You can manipulate the game. No log. No technology.

Yeah, that's probably where people draw the line. You see now the pitchers are wearing things on their ears. They're wearing ear pieces. Is that legal? Yeah. It's like an offensive coordinator talking to the quarterback. Yeah, well, the catcher hits like a button, and I don't know if it buzzes it or it makes a noise, like a beat. This is real?

Yeah. Oh, so they don't have to do like the fingers? Yeah, so when there's runners on base or whenever they want to do it, if they think that someone's taking it from the dugout or the bullpen, they hit a little button on their leg. And it's like two buzzes is a curveball. No way. I have not seen that. I think they should keep it to the fingers. I know.

It's part of sports. Part of the game. I mean, it's not a part of sports when Altuve is wearing a fucking buzzer on his nipple. And every time his nipple buzzes, it's a fastball and he hits a walk off home running. It's like all this Chapman.

It's like, it's not the number one question if someone had presented to me like, I have to tell you the truth. I'm the all-knowing entity of Earth. If you need an answer for something, that wouldn't be the number one question. But it'd probably be number like eight. Right.

Was Jose Al-Tubei-Luvae wearing a buzzer. on his check. Gun to your head. Yeah. He definitely was. Okay, so what would be your number one question to all? Let's not do that now. I don't know. I was going to say Adnan Syed, did he do it? But he's out now. He's free. How many gunmen were there for JFK?

What does that matter, though? I don't know. I just want to know if the government wasn't on it. It matters. Jesus was real. Jesus was real. Jesus was real. There was a man named Jesus. I think scientifically and historically, there's a lot of records. There's too much record about. they're not being a man named Jesus.

Of course, he's real, whether he was going to... Right. Well, he's walking on water. That's a different question. I would rather know

if Jose Altovae was one of a buzzer. I would want to know our... Have... I wouldn't know for a simulation. I'd want to know is this simulation or is... How do you feel about knowing... How do you feel about knowing your death date? No.

I don't want to know that. No chance. No chance. Dude. No. No. Come on. If you told me my death date right now,

I wouldn't survive tonight. I wouldn't. So then you're, so it's tonight. So then it's September 21st. Stop that. I was, I was,

it was a joke. It was a joke. We have to air this podcast. Regardless what happens. Kurt was doing that today. He just tweeted out his death date. He's like, he was like March or 11th like September.

Yeah. September 20th, 2019. He just kept tweeting that. Remember the Mayans? Remember the Mayans? Were you guys in on that? They were super wrong.

Yeah, but were you in on that? Were you like, I was in on it? And then there was like the rapture. that was supposed to happen in like 20 something. Remember that? Was it 2012?

That was the Mayan calendar. Oh, that was the Mayan calendar. There was a rapture was supposed to come. There was a movie about it too called 2012. There is. Yeah. There was a rapture supposed to come in like the late 2010s. There is the theory.

And we've talked about this on the show before that. The world didn't end in 2012, but we did enter a black hole and things started to shift. Yeah. If you go back, like if you trace from 2012, things start getting pretty wonky. Do they? Yeah. I mean, maybe. Maybe.

Yes, so. Every podcast ends up in this discussion. I know. About how we're like literally through this crazy shit happening. Prediction. Predictions for the President's Cup, just domination. Do you think that the international team has any chance of doing anything historic here? I think the Americans get to 20.

Oh. So that would be 20 to 10. I will say when we were on the course today watching groups come through and the quadrant of Xander, Cantlay, J.T. and Spieth, those are some motherfuckers, man. They're going to kill everyone. Everyone except for three players on the U.S. team is ranked better than the best player on the international team. Who's the best player on their team? Hideki. And what's he like?

16. Oh my God. It would be one of the great upsets in sports history. They got five guys outside the top 50. The U.S. has none outside the top 25. Yeah, that's just too many over 50. You can't have that. Yeah, they're going to be competitive.

They are PGA tour players. You know, it's not impossible. I said that today on the range. watching like, Sun J.M. I'm like, that guy just hit the greatest drive I've ever seen on the rain. Sun J.M. was just fucking roasting drivers. I'm like, you don't think that guy thinks he could just win tomorrow?

Totally. And they hear it. What are you nuts? All those guys think that they can just make birdies and the other guys are going to make a part. They hear the noise too. Here's my predict. They do. Bulletin board mature. They can make birdies. Here's my prediction is that I think after all the team matches, it's actually sneaky close. And then singles, it gets a little

ridiculous. That's my prediction. Yeah, I do think, I yeah i just hope it doesn't get away from us like in round one like it's just a four oh five o opening i just want to be competitive or else i'm i'm gonna zone out that's how i am 2017 17 was brutal i'm just gonna zone over and that's fine like when you watch a football game and it's fucking nothing at halftime you're like all right what else is on tv it's just the way of the world works i'm not gonna fucking sit there and be like we're gonna get to 21 no i'm not i want it to be like dude we need to win these singles matches we need six you know what i mean like i need that

I need it. Come on, international team. Just at least make it competitive. Let's go get tacos. Trevor will get them going. I think so. As much as he can.

Trevor's the best. Paco tacos? Let's get tacos. All right, everybody. Enjoy the President's Cup. Do we have any thing coming out tonight? Oh, we played at the 3M.

That's what we've been our guy. Calam Taron. Calum Taryn and Sam Ryder. Great dudes. And Brock Nelson. Yeah. Brock was there? Yeah, Brock was there.

I forgot that Brock was there. I forgot that Brock was there. Brock Nelson. You're going to be. the owner of a Brock Nelson jersey. Yeah, so I'm going to be upping my Isles fandom this year because I live on Long Island. I'm friends with Frankie Pirelli, which ultimately makes you know more about the Isles because you'll be anywhere you are, you won't be talking about hockey, but I know more about

the Islanders than I do any other hockey team. So excited. And I really like Brock Nelson. I've gotten to know him pretty well now through Frankie. And I was saying that I wanted to get a Brock Nelson jersey. And I was on my phone today looking at Brock Nelson jersey. He's on Isleshop.com. And I text Brock, I'm like, you wouldn't believe what Trent Daddy's looking at right now.

And he goes, I said 29 jerseys. And he goes, tell him to stop right now. He goes, what size and what's his address? So I told him the address, told him the size, it's already on its way. Yeah. So you get in the home jersey, which is the blue one? Home blue with the, okay. I'm excited.

Sneaky, maybe not sneaky, just a really fantastic home jersey. Excellent. I actually, I like their home. I like their jerseys more than I like the blues jerseys. And the blues, I think it really good. The blues are good. But I love the Islanders jersey. My first hockey jersey.

And I said Trent's going to rock a hockey jersey really well because he's thick and has like the, he's like you're, you got wide shoulders, broad shoulders. So like the hockey jersey is just going to fit him like perfectly as opposed to when I wear it. I got to wear a hoodie underneath drapes on you. Drapes on me. Like it's a sleeve of a wizard. I'm excited. Shout to Brock Nelson. Thanks for the jersey.

Yeah. One of the nicest guys of all time. Hockey jerseys are cool. They are. They are cool. You can wear them right. They're cool. I can't wear them.

Hockey jerseys are very cool. Let's go get a good. Do they have a good third jersey? They, they. Fishermen? There's, there's rumor that that like third retro jersey might be the fisherman this year. Wow. That's yet to be determined.

The blues had a cool, have had a cool for a long time with the strings up here, and then they do the arch. Oh, yeah, the arch circle one, which is cool. What kind of tacos are you going to order? I don't know. No cheese. No cheese for Danny Rap, but I'm going to get a bunch of cheese. I'm going to do a beach. and a chicken, I think.

I've been really into chorizo. Treizzo's really good. Carnitas. Let's go eat them. All right. All right. Everybody, enjoy the President's Cup. We'll be back.

I think we're going to do a Sunday recording and put this puppy out immediately. So we'll have our instant reactions. Enjoy. Thanks for listening. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
